Let’s Go Aptas

Hike through Europe’s oldest primeval forest. From sub-alpine forests to the alpine tundra; experience the magnificent Arctic wilderness up close.

The activity starts with a short 15 minute transfer from ICEHOTEL to the hike’s starting point, the mountain Aptas. At Aptas we begin our hike through Europe’s oldest primeval forest, from sub-alpine forests to the alpine tundra. You will see how the landscape change around you as we ascend higher, the trees turn to shrubs and the view is vast. After about 1,5 hour we reach the top of Aptas, 615 meters above sea level, where we stop for coffee and tea that we make over an open fire and you are served a light snack.

From the top, you have a stunning view over Kiruna City and the guide will talk about the mine and the move of the city. We head back down again and reach the parking lot about an hour later, and drive back to ICEHOTEL.

Coffee or tea and a light snack.
